Location: Lilanoor Centre for Voice and Music Get Directions
Time: 4:00 PM
About the Workshop:
We will look at a tool called Strudel which is a Javascript port of a popular livecoding language called TidalCycles.
Strudel lets us explore audio and music concepts with the practice of livecoding where we write code and evaluate/run it on the fly, and modify it while it is still running. We will be programming with JavaScript, but instead of doing web development, we will synthesise sounds and sequence them with generative music techniques.
The workshop will touch upon:
- Introduction to livecoding
- Making and manipulating sound
- Sequencing and stacking multiple sounds with basic mini-notation concepts
- Playing notes with various representations of notes, numbers and midi
- Generative techniques like addition, subtraction, randomisation, conditions and control signals
- Exploring scales and samples
- Exploring audio and pattern effects
- Music visualisation with Hydra
No software installation is required as Strudel runs in the browser and only needs an internet connection and a device that can produce sound. Headphones are encouraged so that participants can explore freely without bothering others.
Age 12+ can participate.
NO PRIOR PROGRAMMING OR MUSIC EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED
